Abstract
Interoperability of programming languages with persistency requires new concepts to make a single DBMS or KBMS a custom tailored tool for applications of various programming languages and of different programming paradigms. In this paper we appoint a method for the vertical integration of diverse languages with a single KBMS. We propose an extension of the commonly known ADT definition technique from extended RDBMSs and present a convenient method to define a default re-use of concepts for the interoperability of languages on top of the KBMS. The suggested approach is called language profile and is a system administrator’s interface to an extended KBMS object manager — the so-called Conceptual Object Manager.1
